Default Predator Adjustments

I just installed the 7198 predator tune last night.
Of course, I had to mess with it a bit. I adjusted the trans firmness and speed to +15%. It now chirps 2nd gear, kinda of cool. Will this hurt the trans long term?

Also lowered the fan temp on/off to come in at 180 and off at 175 to try and keep it cooler.

The tranny settings are safe, we won't allow you to exceed certain specs.
Unless you have a 180* stat, those fan settings may be a bit low...

Thanks

Default Thanks

I have a 160 thermostat in it, so I was hoping to be safe with those settings.

Just out of curiousity, the shift rpm in the tune was set for 6000, is that about 300-500 rpm higher then the peak HP for a stock cammed LS1?
